OKC has many options this year, so it would be better to give up two high picks and avoid burning out young players, and take two future first-round picks instead. Boston is looking for young players with low contracts for next year to compete with Brown and Tatum, and by adding Kuminga instead of Simons, they find a player who is still young but more functional. They would also have a HUGE saving in economic terms as well as gaining two picks this year. Sacramento trades Sabonis, taking future swaps from GSW, when Curry and Butler are expected to have already retired, thus gaining picks of absolute value for a team in rebuilding mode without stars.
